#GivingTuesday 2019: Save A Louisiana Life

It’s here! #GivingTuesday is a day to do good in your community, celebrate generosity, and save lives. This charitable holiday can make a BIG impact – last year, it raised over $400 million dollars online, from 3.6 million participants. Louisiana has one of the highest rates of cancer in the United States, and your donation can help prevent cancer in your own communities. Get in on the action this year by making a donation to Louisiana Cancer Prevention (LCP)!

Every year, LCP relies on the generous donations of folks, like you, to help keep our neighbors healthy. A woman in Lake Charles needs transportation to her mammogram; a community in Allen Parish needs a mini-grant to provide healthier food options to their neighbors; a woman needs help with her co-pay for her cervical cancer screening; and a clinic in Franklin needs to raise its colorectal cancer screening rates. Your donation will help prevent cancer across the entire state, and may even help someone you know. 

Want to see what your donation can do? Even a small donation can make a big difference – check out this list below:
